L. .New York City on Sunday, the HIV Sinikithem-ba Choir, composed of HIV-positive South Africans, raised their voices in Zulu and English song on a Harlem church altar. "To have AIDS is a stigma and we are trying to help people share the information and to accept their illness," said choir member Ntombi Mbuthu, 39, a mother of three children, all of whom tested negative for the disease. Mbuthu, who receives medicine through her work as a clinic counselor, is the only one of the 21 traveling choir members who is getting treatment for HIV. The others are too poor. "Most South Africans don't get tested because they know there's no cure, and they cannot get the drug treatment because it's too expensive," said Mimi Badumuti, 32, who supports herself doing beadwork after losing her job as a corporate receptionist. Former President Clinton in an opinion column published Sunday in The New York Times, urged governments to do more to bring treatment to the developing world, where millions of people suffer because they lack access to AIDS drugs. "Given that medicine can turn AIDS from a death sentence into a chronic illness and reduce mother-to-child transmission, our withholding of treatment will appear to future historians as medieval, like bloodletting," Clinton wrote.
